I realized how hard it is to manage this blog; no updates in two weeks leaves me pondering all of the subtle changes that have happened in my life during that time, wondering which one's are even worthy to note.  To start off, I got sick last week, first time in a few years it seems.  When I started getting a little better I decided to start the Master cleanse, this is my third time doing it, I am currently in my sixth day debating if I should stop after tomorrow or not depending on how my supplies look.  One of my favorite things about doing the cleanse is the anticipation of eating again.  This weekend I plan on going through my vegan cook book and making some interesting, healthy food.  Of course coming off of the fast is very important, last time i don't think I eased the transition from liquid to solid foods as I should.  Either way my body feels good, and I'm looking forward to getting back to weight lifting and having more energy.  I realized tonight that I feel good, but not good enough to play a competitive basketball game.  Hopefully, coming off of the cleanse my body will feel a lot better and my energy will be better.

 A bigger occurrence in my life over the past few weeks is me being let go from my backing arrangement.  I was told it was completely a business decision, which is understandable.  I have always done what I could to keep a positive relationship with anyone backing me, after being let go a few times I was always able to find someone else willing to back me.  I realize I'm at a point in my life when things have to change.  I'm not sure what kind of a role poker will play in my life, but I've decided that I would not seek any more backing arrangements for poker.  It's time to change things around completely in my life, I am excited to have more time to do things I want to do.  Eventually I might put some money online and try to grind out a bankroll, but right now I'm considering finding a second job to earn more money. 

With all of the things that seem not to be going my way the last few months my spirits are high, as cliche as it is, when one thing ends it's the start of something better.  I'm happy to be in this moment, which is well past my bedtime, but this time of the night will always have good west coast NBA basketball.  My favorite team to watch, the Phoenix Suns, just lost a well-fought game to the Spurs.  Now I'm watching a little bit of the Lakers Vs. Sacramento before going to sleep.  Hopefully, next week I will have more positives...
